Today’s deep dive is with Polly, from Bottomless Waitress! Bottomless Waitress is the joint creation of Banes and Ozoneocean, with Banes writing the script and Ozoneocean doing the artwork.
It's a teasing, raunchy and somewhat absurd slice-of-life comedy. It’s a masterful balancing act, dancing carefree on the ...

Last week we focused on character growth VS tropes to run characters but Tantz had the idea to look at alternative growth for characters who did NOT grow well (after the original trilogy). So in this Quackcast ...
Strong and Powerful... Together
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Sept. 9, 2023
The sheer power of a good team is so defining that it's a trope. Some of the most iconic characters and beloved personalities have emerged from stories featuring teams of main characters.
Each of them are vital to the story, each of them contribute both in terms of the ...
On plot armor
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, July 8, 2023
Ok yes. Plot armor in general is considered a mistake. With good reason. Enough plot armor and there are no stakes left in your plot, and the audience isn't worried your plot-armored characters may not make it. And if there's no suspense, there's no engagement or the ...
Revisiting The Fugitive
Banes at 12:00AM, July 6, 2023
This year is the 30th anniversary of The Fugitive - that is, the Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones movie. It's a phenomenal movie, and maybe the high bar for the…I guess, the “mature thriller”, we could call it.

Orphans
Banes at 12:00AM, May 25, 2023
It never really occurred to me how many of our heroes are orphans.
Superman was the last survivor of a planet that perished. He was adopted by loving Earth parents, but he's one of the iconic orphans in fiction.
His counterpart Batman, of course, lost his parents at an ...
Wrapping Up
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, May 13, 2023
So as some might know, my 12+ year-old webcomic Without Moonlight is about to end!
Ok well its first volume is about to end. I have probably something like 3 more volumes to go.
